Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Airtable
A database that behaves like a spreadsheet
Airtable looks like a spreadsheet and works like a database, which is why so many content calendars, sponsor pipelines and asset libraries end up in it. Views, linked records and automations turn a table into something a small team can run on. Per-seat pricing gets expensive the moment collaborators outnumber the tables.
Our note
Portals for outside collaborators are priced apart from seats, starting at $120 a month for fifteen guests. If sponsors or clients need to see the calendar, price that line first. It can cost more than the whole team.
Toggl Track
Time tracking that stays free for a small team
Toggl Track records where the hours went, across a browser extension, a desktop application and a phone, and it does the awkward part well: reminding somebody who forgot to start the timer and letting them fill the gap afterwards. The free plan covers a limited number of users with no time limit on it. Billable rates, project profitability and required fields are what the paid tiers add. It reports on time rather than turning it into an invoice, so billing still happens somewhere else.
